General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong
solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub
brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinseand allow to
completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven
cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution
or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
n.onabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grilFs high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease
deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning
pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage.
Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the
grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
